SPACE 15 TWENTY HOLLYWOOD

Hollywoods newest retail implant, in the heart of the club heavy Cahuenga corridor.

A new retail experiment from Urban Outfitters which is Part shopping mall, part gallery, part event space, part community gathering spot, Urban Outfitters' Space 15 Twenty in Hollywood is combining shopping and entertainment to create a unique new retail experience.

Space 15 TEWNTY will house a number of edgy retailers, most of which will change periodically.

Patrons will find an Urban Outfitters (which will have permanent residence), a revolving one-off installation space for designers showcasing their own lines every few months (the first will be Brooklyn designer Samantha Pleet's lines - including her women's line Samantha Pleet, men's line Patrick Pleet, eco-line Bodkin, and UO exclusive Rapscallion), We The Free (UO's latest retail concept with a focus on Free People's vintage-inspired older female consumer), art and architecture bookstore Hennessey & Ingalls, NYC-based vintage giant What Goes Around Comes Around, famous streetwear/sneaker outpost Alife( BIG UP'S TO ARON FROM ALIFE!) , and a tribute to UO's City of Brotherly Love roots with the Philly-based Snack Bar, a go-to grub spot with a focus on local.

Not just a hipster mall, the retail space will also serve as a community gathering place. Surrounding each retailer is a courtyard which will be utilized for both commerce and performances.

Space 15 Twenty will be supporting local art schools, museums, radio stations, and businesses, including Art Center, MOCA, KCRW and Amoeba Records, and will be highlighting content from these sources. The courtyard space will also host flea markets and live events such as concerts, art shows, and film series. In addition, a permanent gallery space will host different collections ranging from fashion and photography to paintings and independently-published books.
